Credit Classes

Daily Classes for Five Weeks

List of 1 items.

  • Full Year of Academic Credit

Complete a year’s work and earn a full year’s credit through daily classes and regularly assigned homework. Sage Hill students who successfully complete an academic credit course receive graduation credit on their transcripts, as well as a letter grade incorporated into their GPA (students from other high schools must confirm their own school’s credit requirements). Please note that credit classes taken while a student is in grades 6-8 will not apply toward Sage Hill’s graduation requirements if that student ends up attending the School.

Credit classes meet daily for five weeks, June 23 to July 25, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, or 12:30 to 4:30 PM. Courses are taught by Sage Hill faculty. Students are only permitted to take one credit class per summer.
